| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect Rsbeck, ignoring the import of any capsaicin-bearing fruits and copper sulfate pentahydrate, or other such corrosives, I can see a few different issues in this discussion:1. Improving over 'perfection'. This is rather unique to audiophilia. When I... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect TJ, the Absolute costs approximately 2.5 times the price of the Silver II. I forgot to ask Robert what accounts for the price difference. As far as you know, is there more than the hybrid Copper/Silver strands and the insulating material as the di... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect Returning to the subject matter, I called Robert Lee and asked him about the metallurgy of the Absolute wires. The Silver-Copper Hybrid wires have mixed strands of Silver and Copper. More specifically, 96% of the strands are made from Silver, and ... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect Rsbeck, have you eaten hot chiles today? Relax, this hobby can be fun! | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect TJ, good idea. I will call Robert early next week and will post my findings. Looking at the converse implications of rsbeck's observations, I find it rather wonderful and exciting how there seems to be no apparent limit on the amount of improvemen... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect TJ, the Acoustic Zen site indicates the Absolute cables to be made from a Silver Copper Hybrid. Does this mean that some strands are made from copper and others from silver, or that copper strands are silver coated, or that a Silver/Copper alloy i... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect TJ, do you have any feelings about how the AZ Absolute may compare with the similarly priced AudioQuest Sky? | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? FPlanner, I am not surprised about your Rowland 501 findings. I heard the 201 and found it it delicate but slightly surfacy. | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Fplanner, which Rowland did you compare against the McCormac? | |
| Tube rolling experience in Aesthetix Callisto Sig John, believe it or not, string players tend to be also compulsive string rollers by nature. No danger to cats though, Pearlman likely uses some newest variant of steel strings. No NOS either, a string more than a couple of years old is not even g... | |
| Tube rolling experience in Aesthetix Callisto Sig Excellent info John! Now I am suddenly wondering if there is such thing as wire-rolling craze in pianos, like there is tube-rolling in audio gear. | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? The velvety golden glow of my Rowland 7M monoblocks makes me purr with contentment. . . except for that not so fine day when the nail of my left thumb lost an unfair game of 'shock absorber' under one of the cooling fins of the 140 pounds behemoth... | |
| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp Another fab review, JD! | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? I never heard of a 1000W per channel H2O power amp. Is there a new model I do not know about? | |
| Review: Aesthetix Callisto Signature Tube preamp John and JD, this review was magnificent. This makes me truly think I have to keep the Callisto in the running for my next linestage. Have you guys had the opportunity of comparing it to some First Sound models in the same price range? Or perhaps ... |
